No, allocation happens before instance_init, it only initializes fields of the instance, so that name seems good to me. My ISA realize patches (need to respin after Paolo enabled gus) worked towards resolving the DeviceClass::init vs. instance_init ambiguity, so once completed only instance_init and class_init would remain as "init"s. PCI is a bit more involved, and would collide with this series; Jesse's virtio-net config size issue is calling for converting VirtioDevice, which might be quicker. > instance_finalize -> @instance_free? /me misunderstandable, sorry. It doesn't free the instance either, and Java uses "finalize" too and so does .NET iirc. Anyway, my point was, when moving stuff out of exit, we should also change the signature to the new one - DeviceState* and (unused) Error**. Then we're getting closer to removing the old exit field, and at that point renaming individual hooks - if desired - becomes a trivial patch.
